Little Pumpkins

One little Pumpkin at our house has been DYING to choose a pumpkin for himself. We've been promising to go for ages and haven't got around to it. So last weekend we took a family day and browsed a nearby farmer's market, to no avail. No pumpkins.

 Then we popped on over to our local Fresh Market, purveyors of all things wonderful and hard to find. Alas, they too, apparently believe that pumpkins expire after Halloween.

Poor Jack. We finally found two little gourds and a tiny but perfect pumpkin tucked into a clearance box at Publix. The day was saved!


Hooray for pumpkins

So happy!

Our little pumpkin's first Fall!

One happy boy

Daddy was laughing because Little Miss stole the last piece of shortbread right out of the pan!

This happened to us last year with the pumpkin patch. We didn't have a chance to go in October, so planned a trip in early November only to find out the pumpkin patch is only open during the month of October. Last time I checked Fall was also through the month of November...we were sad we had missed our opportunity to go (and made sure to go in plenty of time this year!). Glad you found a few little pumpkins for your little pumpkins!! Miss you!
